shadydaveSo, yesterday Courtney and I were discussing how there needs to be Shakespeare IN SPACE! And then we came up with the BEST MOVIE IDEA EVER.
Dark Side and Prejudice
Screenstory by Courtney and Dave
Me: we should write to kenneth branagh
Courtney: i'm suddenly flashing on a time travelling blackadder
"who's kenneth branaugh?" "he'd be very sad to hear you say that"
Me: hahahaha
colin firth!shakespeare
<3
Courtney: darcy + shakespeare = what more can a girl need?
Me: darcy + shakespeare IN SPACE
Courtney: oooh
does this elizabeth bennet ACTUALLY fence w/ Darcy
instead of just verbally doing it?
Me: sure!
with LIGHTSABERS
because they are jedi
Courtney: ooh, totally jedi
but mrs. bennet didn't want lizzie to be a jedi
at least not the fighty kind
better the zen kind like jane
Me: i was thinking jane was a senator for the republic
as is bingley
Courtney: even better
Me: wickham can be a sith lord who seduces kitty to the dark side
he used to be darcy's padawan
Courtney: and then we can haz epic battle?
wickham v darcy!
near a chasm
because all epic battles require chasms/firepits/both
me: ohh! and lady catherine de bourgh is also a sith lord
because lizzie should get an awesome fight too
Courtney: ooh
which mean darcy has sithlord family angst
Me: hurray!
Courtney: on top of his inability to string 3 sentences together
Me: hehehe
i think he doesn't know they are sith lords, just suspects
but doesn't want to say anything, because it would destroy their reputation
Courtney: of course, mr. collins is an uptight jedi who sort of just slides over to the darkside because he serves lady catherine
Me: no, i think he is just a jedi
he doesn't know she is evil
and is shocked and horrified when he finds out
fortunately, charlotte is there to handle things
Courtney: i was thinking of the uber rule folling type who end up letting more bad things happen than not because there be RULES
you know, the sort sith lords love to play with
Me: good point
hmm
so, if lady catherine is basically count dooku
mr collins can be head of the trade federation
Courtney: okay
Me: i don't think he's awesome enough to be a jedi
Courtney: he belongs in the bureaucracy
LYDIA! that's who wickham really runs off with
Me: that's what i meant
Courtney: kitty's the silly slightly older sister
so, elizabeth and darcy team up on a mission to fight sithlords?
Me: hmmm
Courtney: i'm trying to figure out the story we're making up
Me: i think it would be more lizzie meets darcy and thinks he is a sith lord, because wickham tells her so
"dark side and prejudice"
Courtney: even better
Me: so it can follow the basic plot, but with more lightsaber fights
Courtney: therre's very little lightsaber fights can't improve
also? spaceship battles
Me: i wonder where they would go?
Courtney: off to the side, like the napoleonic wars
Me: excellent
Courtney: very good then
Me: this will go well with the zombie hunter version of mansfield park
[Edited slightly, so it looks like we know how to spell.]
In other awesome news, Lost in Translation is way too much fun. Basically, it generates instant Engrish by running a phrase through Babelfish several times. Hilarity ensues.
In keeping with our Star Wars/Jane Austen theme, here are some examples!
Presenting The Type of Fights Arrests the First Paper Saga!
Episode I:
The Type of Fights Arrests the First Paper: Threat of the Illusion
Episode II:
The Type of Fights Arrests the First Paper: The Copy Attacks
Episode III:
The Type of Fights Arrests the First Paper: Revenge in Sith
Episode IV:
The Type of Fights Arrests the First Paper: The New Desire
Episode V:
The Type of Fights Arrests the First Paper: Load with the Kingdom
Episode VI:
The Type of Fights Arrests the First Paper: Of It Does Jedi of the Restoration Nonupdated
In the Work of Jennie They Austen!
Pride of Sensitivity and the Damages
Knowledge and Sensitivity
Emma
Park of the Zone of the Man
The End to Convince
Tempiale I Gave Daoist of the Modification of Northanger
It's easy to see why she's a classic.
